And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of
Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph,
come near, and speak before Moses, and before the princes, heads of the fathers
of the sons of Israel,

2

and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for
inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by
Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3

'And -- they have been to one of the sons of the other
tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been
withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the
inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance
it is withdrawn,

4

and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath
their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs,
and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance
withdrawn.'

5

And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of
Jehovah, saying, 'Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;

6

this is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let
them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be
for wives;

7

and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn
round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his
fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.

8

'And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the tribes
of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a
wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each the inheritance of his fathers,

9

and the inheritance doth not turn round from one
tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes
of the sons of Israel.'

10

As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of
Zelophehad done,

11

and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,
daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers' brethren for wives;

12

to men of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son
of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with the tribe of
the family of their father.

13

These are the commands and the judgments which
Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in
the plains of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho.
